Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was or 4th annual girl's trip. We range in age from 41 to 79. There were 8 of us. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs and only 1 full bath. 1 bedroom on the main floor and a half bath, and 1 bedroom in the basement. 6 women using one bathroom wasn't the best set up for us but it worked. Exterior of the house really needs painting. Inside was clean. Hot tub was amazing. King bed mattress was too soft. Towels had a musty smell. Management company was great to work with. We will book with them again but likely at a different house.

Family Time

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lots of space inside for 8 adults and 4 children. Lots of space outside to run and play. Loved the fire pit to make s’mores. Well apportioned kitchen. Close to Galena. Has access to clubhouse pool. Only complaint is that the upstairs bedrooms are hot; the standalone a/c units in the bedrooms don’t provide any cooling.

A Great Place To Gather With Friends

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We used this house, one of two in the territory, for a retreat with work colleagues. It was a nice place with plenty of room for our people. The area is stunning, with plenty of walking trails. We didn't take advantage of the Owners Club, but it looks like a great opportunity.

Beautiful Home/Wonderful Owner

We have stayed at this home twice now...and are currently making plans to stay again! We love the home, as it's beautiful and spacious. The owner has been fantastic, as we have friends who travel many hours to get there and the owner has been accommodating to their arrival needs! The owner is also very responsive to questions! Which is fantastic! We cannot wait to come back and I highly recommend this property! Thank you, Linda!

Plenty of room, good kitchen layout, garage, awesome view from deck. House is not in the woods, so there were less bugs and constant breeze. The large open yard is great for children.

Perfect location and house for our group!

Our group gathered to celebrate birthdays and 30 years of friendship. We were all wowwed by this house. It’s beautiful and huge! We had more than enough space for the seven of us. Great kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit, ping pong table, and the hot tub. We’d definitely rent this place again!
